Community Improvement Plans

A Community Improvement Plan (CIP) is a planning and economic development framework that may include public realm improvement projects and financial incentives programs designed to stimulate private sector investment and building rehabilitation and development. A CIP allows for a variety of financial grants and loans to assist registered property owners and tenants of lands and buildings within Community Improvement Areas in rehabilitating their properties.

To date the Town of Lincoln has approved four Community Improvement Plans. They include the CIP for the Industrial Lands and Rural Area CIP, the Mixed Use and Residential Intensification CIP, the Vineland Central Business District and the CIP for the Beamsville Central Business District and the Ontario Street Commercial Area CIP. 

The Town is in the process of reviewing its CIPs.  Funding for the Beamsville,  Vineland and the Mixed-Use CIPs are currently on hold pending the completion of a new CIP to replace those 3 CIPs and approval of funding in the 2023 budget for the financial incentive programs. Funding for the Industrial Lands and Rural Areas CIP is currently on hold pending minor changes to that CIP and approval of funding in the 2023 Budget for the financial incentive programs.
